For the tangerine technique the idea is only to throw your focus to the back part of the head. So use whatever imagry works best for you. Just remember you use it whenever you read. Whether regular reading, rapid reading or superreading.
If you are aware of the whole sentence then your peripheral is open enough. You need to be able to read groups of words so let your eyes flow, if you use some of the other activation techniques you can take in the words at the edges better. You've already photoread it so you know what is there, you are looking for the cues within the middle that tells you that the information that you consciously seek is in that general area and when you dip you allow your eyes to flow over the words... it can be the whole sentence or two but you use a smooth motion.
If you're going in for more information doesn't it strike you that you have some sort of purpose what more do you want to know. As long as you think of questions that could be answered then your purpose is to find the answer to those questions. If your activating you can become more specific. I want to know when to use the formula I just learnt, how does the formula for... affect the solution in these circumstances? If I apply this... what would happen. Why do they use... instead of... , Why do I feel I need to know more about? To say I want an answer to... that's a purpose. Be flexible you might keep the same purpose for a couple of activation passes until you're satisfied you have understood the answer.
